Description

Some platform-specific arguments (such as --gradleArg) is additionally quoted, when options passed to cordova.raw API using old format. Though this is not a problem on Windows, because the command processor on handles such arguments correctly, on OS X this leads to unexpected failures.

For example running

cordova.raw.build({
    platforms: [android],
    options: ["--gradleArg=--no-daemon"]
})

causes gradle build failure with following message Task '"--no-daemon"' not found in root project 'android'.
